He told her where he was from. The hospital admitted the ball was dropped when she did not inform the doctors of where he was from. So please stop with the moronic conspiracies and no, you won't see the patient notes because patient notes are rarely displayed to the general public. You do not know what was said or asked or how it was asked, so don't invent it instead. And if you were able to add one and two together, it would be clear that his patient notes would not reveal anything since the nurse did not write up where he came from in his file. If he or she had written it up in his file, he would not have been sent home with anti-biotics because if it was in his file, the doctors would have seen it.

So somehow you can tell that there is no mention that Duncan "came from Liberia" on the original file! I reckon it will be there, just to be different.
And I do know how to add 1+1 thank you very much, it is 3 isn't it?

This is isn't about you. (Although WMAP data may, superficially, suggest you are at the centre of the universe, this turns out to be a frame of reference situation.) This is considerably more important than about you winning or losing an argument.

I had to think back to a possible story that elicited my post. I know it is not about me, but since the forum has agreed that the survivors could play a role in controlling the spread of Ebola I was going to try and spread the message, but at this stage all email addresses tried have not worked.Do you know an email address to someone within the UN? Could you share it via PM please if you do?

1. (The emboldened phrase above) How can you possibly imagine that the authorities have not already considered the possible use of all resources in the affected countries? Do you seriously imagine that the hundreds of highly skilled and intelligent people have not considered such possibilities? Bob, the only way to describe your action in this matter is "stupid". Mind numbingly stupid. Why will you never think before you act?
2. (the green phrase above) If it took a fraction of five minutes to find a raft of email addresses for UN officials, how come you could not do so?
3. (underlined phrase) You asked me if I knew an email address to someone in the UN. You did not ask me if I knew someone in the UN. Once again your English comprehension lets you down badly. When are you going to do some work on this?

Did you read the post where you replied to my request? It was some sort of goading about that I "shouldn't try to outsmart" you. I do wonder what is wrong with you John. You seem to be nice but at the next moment you turn around and make me feel so trashed. I want you to get help, medical help possibly please.
When you gave me that address you didn't say where it came from so I can make any guess I like. I thought you might have contacts in high places. Thanks for looking it up in google, and in the end I did find Helen clark's un email too, but I haven't actually tested it yet. I had already tried two addresses but both were invalid, so I was real pleased to have one that worked at last.

New cases have been reported from Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. Nigeria and Senegal have not reported any new cases since September 5, 2014, and August 29, 2014, respectively. In Senegal, all contacts have now completed their 21-day follow up, with no further cases of Ebola reported.

On August 29, 2014, Senegal's Ministry of Public Health and Social Affairs announced a case of Ebola virus disease (EVD) in Senegal. The case is in a man from Guinea who traveled to Senegal.

The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has reported cases of Ebola. These cases are not related to the ongoing outbreak of Ebola in West Africa. For information on the outbreak in DRC, see the 2014 Ebola Outbreak in DRC page.

HHS has contracted with Mapp Biopharmaceutical Inc. to develop and manufacture ZMapp. Mapp Biopharmaceutical will manufacture a small amount of the drug for early stage clinical safety studies and nonclinical studies.

NIH will begin initial human testing of an investigational vaccine to prevent EVD in early September and is working with a company to develop an antiviral drug to treat Ebola.

U.S. Department of Defense has funded two companies that are developing drug therapies for Ebola and is working with another company to develop an Ebola vaccine.

CDC returned a staff member from West Africa by charter flight after the employee had low-risk contact with an international health worker who recently tested positive for Ebola. The CDC staff member was not sick with Ebola, did not show symptoms of the disease, and therefore posed no risk to friends, family, co-workers, or the public

If it had been on his treatment file and what is accessed by the doctors, if the nurse who first spoke to him had put it in his paperwork, he probably would not have been sent home. Here is what the hospital has admitted:

Even though a sick patient later diagnosed with Ebola told an emergency room nurse at a Texas hospital that he had recently traveled from West Africa, the nurse failed to pass on that information to other hospital staff, and that man was released from the hospital with antibiotics, officials said today.
The first Ebola patient diagnosed in the U.S. was initially sent home after seeking care at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital for symptoms consistent with the virus on Sept. 26, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

In a news conference earlier today, Dr. Mark Lester, the executive vice president of the hospital, said the patient did not fully communicate his status to hospital staff and his overall clinical presentation was not typical at the time for Ebola.
But he also said: "He volunteered that he traveled from Africa in response to a nurse operating the checklist and asking him the question. The clinicians did not factor that in. It was not part of their decision."
He added that a nurse who saw the patient did ask him if he had traveled to Africa and he said yes. She did not communicate with the rest of the team. He did not offer an explanation.

During Governor Rick Perry's news conference a doctor from the Texas hospital revealed that the patient diagnosed with Ebola did disclose that he had traveled to Liberia but in the confusion of the ER this information did not get communicated to the doctors, or other health care officials who released the patient.

Do they need to be investigated? Yes. As I noted earlier, they should also be investigated for why they then quarantined the man's relatives/friends in the apartment where he had been so ill with all of his contaminated bedding, bathroom, towels, clothes for days before they sent in professionals to clean it.

But that does not mean you get to write a script for what was said by whom and then to carry on as if the nurse did not know about Ebola in Liberia because she's never been to Africa as though it's a big conspiracy. In other words, the case is bad enough, you don't need to invent a script to suit what you want it to be.

Its active metabolite, cidofovir diphosphate, inhibits viral replication by selectively inhibiting viral DNA polymerases.[2] It also inhibits human polymerases but this action is 8-600 times weaker than its actions on viral DNA polymerases.[2] It also incorporates itself into viral DNA hence inhibiting viral DNA synthesis during reproduction.[2]It possesses in vitro activity against the following viruses:[19]

Being acellular, viruses such as Ebola do not replicate through any type of cell division; rather, they use a combination of host- and virally encoded enzymes, alongside host cell structures, to produce multiple copies of themselves. These then self-assemble into viral macromolecular structures in the host cell.[8][better source needed] The virus completes a set of steps when infecting each individual cell:[citation needed]The virus begins its attack by attaching to host receptors through the glycoprotein (GP) surface peplomer and is endocytosedinto macropinosomes in the host cell.[18][non-primary source needed] To penetrate the cell, the viral membrane fuses with vesiclemembrane, and the nucleocapsid is released into the cytoplasm. Encapsidated, negative-sense genomic ssRNA is used as a template for the synthesis (3'-5') of polyadenylated, monocistronic mRNAs and, using the host cell's ribosomes, tRNA molecules, etc., the mRNA is translated into individual viral proteins.These viral proteins are processed, a glycoprotein precursor (GP0) is cleaved to GP1 and GP2, which are then heavily glycosylated using cellular enzymes and substrates. These two molecules assemble, first into heterodimers, and then into trimers to give the surface peplomers. Secreted glycoprotein (sGP) precursor is cleaved to sGP and delta peptide, both of which are released from the cell.[citation needed] As viral protein levels rise, a switch occurs from translation to replication. Using the negative-sense genomic RNA as a template, a complementary +ssRNA is synthesized; this is then used as a template for the synthesis of new genomic (-)ssRNA, which is rapidly encapsidated.The newly formed nucleocapsids and envelope proteins associate at the host cell's plasma membrane; budding occurs destroying the cell.

Another day and no new patients in the USA. That is rather amazing. I wonder why they don't use the new drugs prophylactically? It could be cheaper in the long run. Maybe the risk of side effects is greater than the disease.

Liberia has seen the worst out of that, with over half of the deaths coming from that country alone.

Chris Dye from the WHO said the international response was helping, and the important thing now was to look forward.

"We've asked for a response of about $1bn (£618m); so far we have around $300m (£185m) with more being pledged, so a bit less than half of what we need but it's climbing quickly all the time," he said.

In April, the medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) warned of the potential spread of the virus, but at the time the WHO played down the claims, saying that Ebola was neither an epidemic, nor was it unprecedented.

Meanwhile in Mali, an experimental serum is being tested on volunteer health workers.

The trial spans several countries, and the results will be sent to experts to determine whether it can protect against Ebola.
